Chapter 151: The Art of War and the Tricks
The first year of Zhongping (AD 184), August 9th, is destined to be remembered by everyone.
On this day, after the Yanmen Army defended for five days, Yanmen Pass fell to the hands of the Xiongnu again.
But that night, also at Yanmen Pass, another major event happened that shocked the world and was destined to go down in history.
At this time, clouds were floating above Yanmen Pass, and the bright moon was completely wrapped in black clouds. Darkness enveloped the earth for hundreds of miles, and no light or shadow could be seen.
Outside Guangwu City.
At this time, 30,000 Yanmen fighting troops and 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry, and a total of 40,000 allied troops, were all ready. They only waited for the commander-in-chief Qin Hao to give the order, and immediately sent troops to Yanmen Pass.
The Bingzhou Army had internal objections to starting the war so soon. After all, the Bingzhou Army had just arrived in Guangwu during the day, and it was indeed too hasty to start the war at night.
Qin Hao once said that the war would start in the near future. Most people in the army thought that it would take a few more days, but who knew that this "not day" turned out to be "that night"?
Many people are opposed to sending troops at this time, thinking that Yanmen Pass was lost only in the daytime, and if they go into battle without adequate preparation, it is unlikely to win Yanmen Pass.
However, the general Qin Hao still insisted on what he had seen, and the general Lu Bu of Bingzhou did not object. Even if other generals had opinions... it was of no use.
However, how could these opponents know Qin Hao's difficulties? Yanmen Pass is too close to Guangwu, and the cavalry can reach the gate of Guangwu City at full speed in an hour.
The reason why the Xiongnu did not pursue the victory and attack Guangwu was because they believed that the Yanmen army was insufficient in strength and Guangwu could easily obtain it, so there was no need to rush.
Although the Huns have a large number of troops, they will be exhausted under the high-intensity continuous siege, so they temporarily went to Yanmen Pass to rest and wait for reinforcements.
Qin Hao and Wang Meng concluded that at dawn tomorrow, the Huns' hundreds of thousands of cavalry troops would rush directly to Guangwu City, and tonight was the Yanmen Army's only chance to defeat the enemy.
“Young Master, the commander in charge of Yanmen Pass is Hu Chuquan, Zuoxian King of the Xiongnu. There are approximately 90,000 Xiongnu in the Pass.” A spy reported loudly.
The generals couldn't help but look troubled when they heard this. All the Huns who had previously attacked the city actually entered the city. The Huns were really cautious. There was not a single soldier stationed outside the city, and they didn't give the Yanmen Army any chance at all!
At present, the Huns as the defenders have 90,000 troops, but the coalition forces as the attackers only have 40,000 troops. The attackers are less than half of the defenders.
And in this situation, how can the young master defeat the enemy? The generals are full of doubts!
Lu Bu looked at Qin Hao, who still looked calm, with interest. He already knew that Yanmen Pass was deliberately thrown to the Xiongnu, but he didn't know Qin Hao's follow-up plan.
The bait has been laid so heavily, but if the fish doesn't take the bait, the needle will be...awkward!
“Where is Yuvluo now?” Qin Hao asked.
There was no trace of panic in the cold voice. Qin Hao's calmness also infected the generals, and the restlessness in their hearts calmed down a little.
“Yufuluo is in the camp where the Xiongnu originally set up, fifty miles outside Yanmen Pass.”
Qin Hao frowned when he heard this. This was a bit inconsistent with the plan, but it did not hinder the implementation of the overall plan!
Wang Meng on the side saw this and immediately said: "Young Master, Yu Fuluo should stay and wait for reinforcements. As soon as the 40,000 Xiongnu reinforcements arrive, they will immediately join Huchuquan in the pass and kill directly at Guangwu. city."
“Hmm. Will Yuvluo’s absence at Yanmen Pass affect part of the plan?”
Wang Meng said confidently: "No, just use the Huns in Yanmen Pass as bait, and eat Yu Fuluo's 40,000 reinforcements together!"
One thing Wang Meng did not tell Qin Hao was that when Yanmen Pass had just begun to be rebuilt, Wang Meng discovered a detail that no one else had discovered, and this shocking plan began to take shape at that time!
Success or failure depends on this! Qin Hao secretly thought in his heart, then he pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed it directly in the direction of Yanmen Pass and shouted: "The enemy will be defeated tonight, send my order to Yanmen Pass!" "We must win, we must win..."
…
Yanmen Pass.
Hu Chuquan had been busy all day and finally finished handling the affairs in Yanmen Pass. However, at this time, instead of showing any trace of fatigue, his face was full of excitement.
The capture of Yanmen Pass this time was a huge profit for the Xiongnu. Because Yanmen left in a "hurry", many supplies did not even have time to be burned, and all of these supplies naturally fell into the hands of the Xiongnu.
Yanmen Pass, as the Yanmen Army’s forward position to resist the Xiongnu, naturally reserves a large amount of military supplies. Although a lot of military supplies were consumed in the previous defense, the remaining quantity is still huge.
After counting, the Xiongnu had one hundred thousand loads of grain and grass, ten thousand steel knives, twenty thousand spears, eight thousand long bows, and five thousand shields...
The grassland is tough but iron-clad, and the equipment is not well-equipped. With these equipment, the Huns can expand their army by at least 30,000 people, so Huchuquan can't be happy.
Huchuquan now understands why Shanyu is so persistent in going south. It is because the Han people are too rich, and one Yanmen Pass is enough to recover half of the previous losses.
Yanmen Pass, the first battle in the south, has achieved such a big gain, but what about Guangwu City and Jinyang City? The wealth must far exceed Yanmen Pass! Thinking of Hu Chuquan's heart couldn't help but get hot.
"Report...to King Zuo Xian that the Yanmen Army has come to attack the city."
"At this time to attack the city?" Hu Chuquan was stunned, then sneered: "It seems that Qin Hao is too anxious to jump over the wall. How many people are here!"
“It’s too dark to count, but looking at the number of torches, there are about 40,000 enemy troops!”
"Impossible." Huchuquan denied it without even thinking.
"If the Yanmen Army had so many troops, Yanmen Pass would not be lost. This must be Qin Hao'er's plan to suspect the enemy!"
Although he said it firmly, he didn't witness it with his own eyes after all. When he came to the tower behind Yanmen Pass and looked at the torches everywhere below, Huchuquan sneered and at the same time confirmed what he was thinking.
It has to be said that Qin Hao's trick to deceive the enemy was played out so realistically by Yue Fei. The Xiongnu thought that Yanmen's troops were almost completely depleted, so that when Qin Hao actually led 40,000 troops to the city, Huchuquan instead all I don’t believe my eyes anymore!
The Art of War says: What is false is true, what is true is false, what is true is false, what is false is true!
Yanmen Pass is built on the mountain, with Yanmen Mountain to the east and Long Mountain to the west. It has only two gates, the north and the south. The north can resist the Xiongnu invasion from the south, and the south can also resist the Yanmen Army.
Seeing Huchuquan appear on the tower behind Yanmen Pass, the Yanmen troops under the pass began to yell and curse under Qin Hao's instructions.
“Huchuquan, if you are a hero, you will go out of the city to fight. What kind of hero can you be if you stay in the city?”
“Huchuquan, you are such a shy turtle, you are not a man at all.”
“Huchuquan, you son of a bitch…”
